Dr. Slavica Janevska’s @Slavi_Jan Junior Research Group @LeibnizHKI uses targeted genetic manipulation to elucidate the role and regulation of fungal virulence factors in opportunistic human infections caused by the @WHO high priority pathogen #Fusarium. leibniz-hki.de/en/epi-genetic…

Dr. Amelia Barber (@AmeliaBarberPhD) is a group leader at @UniJena . By studying fungal evolution, ecology, and drug resistance, she aims to develop innovative solutions to reduce the impact of these diseases. #FungalWeek24

During her PhD, Dolly Montano researched monocyte responses to Mucorales, fungi which cause the rare but life-threatening infection Mucormycosis. In her postdoc, she aims to understand the influence of the inflammatory host environment on C. albicans infection. @LeibnizHKI

How does C. albicans exploit the host to adapt to higher temperatures? Interested... then you are welcome to visit Poster P15 in #Dmyk conference today 16:30. @aps_hki

Finally there! I am very grateful to my mentors, to my family and colleagues for their support during all these years. What a great memory! Everything was worth it.

Next up in the session on the host‘s perspective #HFP2024: @Mark_Gresnigt presenting his work on fungal adaptation in Candida

Come and check out @Marisa_Valent's poster at session 2 at the #HFP2024 today! She works on strategies to treat vulvovaginal candidiasis (say this three times quickly in a row!), specifically on how to neutralize candidalysin and on probiotic lactobacilli.

At todays poster session 2 at the #HFP2024: Tim will present his work about our favorite cytolytic toxin #candidalysin and how it promotes #Candida's gut commensalism!

Extremely happy to be with my family at #HFP2024 presenting part of my PhD project. I am grateful to @WolfgangVivas for supporting me on this journey, and also to my great mentors, Kerstin Voigt and recently @Mark_Gresnigt.

@Raquel_Aloro Yeeei! Congratulations. Beautiful thesis and also color cover ;)

I think I'm still feeling the adrenaline rush, but it seems that I made it 😁🙌 What a cute little book after 4.5 years of hard work!

My review is finally out! We wrote about how organ-on-chip models help fight against infections🥊🦠In this paper you'll find answers to why, what, and how, plus lots of examples on what researchers have already done 🧐 You can read the full version here: rdcu.be/dCnCq

@SlavenaVylkova Thank you very much! Thanks to you I initiated this journey. I will always remember it.

@M89Dolly Congrats Dolly, well deserved! 🎉🎈🎓Greetings to your family.

This journey was full of beautiful memories and hard times. I have been supported by a wonderfull family, friends and my scientific mentor. Today I am infinitely grateful to all of them. Mostly, to my husband and my beloved son, to whom I owe the motivation to always move forward

KK: as a woman and a mother, I try to tell fellow female scientists that you don’t have to choose between having a family, you can have it, you don’t have to over assist your child, your child will watch you and they will do,🥹 thank you KK.

“Ten years ago I was kicked out and forced to retire.” Our new medicine laureate Katalin Karikó (@kkariko) told us how much it means to be awarded the Nobel Prize after a scientific career that has been full of challenges. Ten years ago, Karikó was still doing all her experiments by hand but today she has been awarded the medicine prize for her research on mRNA, which led to the development of COVID-19 vaccines.

Very happy that our review on the Unfolded Protein Response in Sepsis is online in @FrontImmunol! I would like to thank the reviewers and the editor for such great feedbacks. Tidy up - The unfolded protein response in sepsis frontiersin.org/articles/10.33…

We invite you to have a look at our new publication about monocytes-Mucorales interactions and the mechanism that triggers antifungal alarm systems such as the inflammatory response. frontiersin.org/articles/10.33…

Doctors believe mucormycosis could be triggered by the use of steroids, a life-saving treatment for severe and critical ill Covid-19. That's why is so important to keep researching on such devastating fungal infection. bbc.com/news/world-asi…
